Mien Tay Fulham Restaurant is a family run Vietnamese restaurant at 45 Fulham High Street. The kitchen specialises in home style cooking from the Mekong Delta in south west Vietnam, a region shaped by abundant fish, vegetables and aromatic herbs. Its broad menu works well for a quick bowl of noodles or a shared meal built around salads, grilled dishes and clay pots.
Fresh rolls with prawns provide a light beginning, while green papaya salad combines crisp texture with bright dressing and herbs. Traditional crispy pancakes, aromatic duck, chargrilled chicken and crisp squid with garlic add contrasting choices for the table. These starters introduce the balance of freshness, sweetness, acidity and savoury seasoning found throughout the meal.
Noodle dishes include warming pho, spicy bun hue soup, dry vermicelli bowls and egg noodle combinations. Rice plates and stir fried noodles offer convenient complete meals with meat, seafood or vegetables. Vietnamese chicken clay pot curry brings richer spice, while goat with galangal uses the fragrant root to give a distinctive flavour to one of the restaurant’s best known dishes.
Whole deep fried sea bass with lemongrass and chilli makes a generous centrepiece, and prawns, duck and other seafood extend the selection. Stir fried morning glory with garlic and additional vegetable or tofu dishes give diners plenty of ways to balance the larger plates. The result is a varied introduction to the fresh, fragrant and comforting food of the Mekong Delta.
